The MALDIVES onboard the (Peter Hughes) Ocean Dancer

November14-28, 2008 
 

The Republic of the Maldives is a chain of around 1200 islands stretching 750km across the Indian Ocean. The exact number of islands varies according to the season and method of classification - islands come and go with the wind, waves and currents! 

65 million years ago the islands of the Maldives were part of a huge volcanic mountain range. When the volcanoes ceased to be active they submerged sinking at a rate slow enough that coral formations could grow on their rims. This coral growth eventually became the fringing reefs of the atolls.

Reef life is prolific, with over 700 common fish species and many more still to be discovered and classified; invertebrate species are reckoned to be in their tens of thousands. For the sharp-eyed diver there are encounters with species like frogfish, leaf fish, ghost pipefish and a multitude of nudibranchs. Whether it’s the sight of the awesome manta ray, being face to face with a grey reef shark or spotting a tiny brightly colored flatworm, the Maldives has it all.

From November onwards the currents begin to flow from the northeast, visibility is superb and there is lots of action in the channels on the eastern side of the atolls from the sharks and other pelagic species (manta rays and whale sharks). Your cruise will take you through the atolls to the very best of the dive sites.   10 days liveaboard: NOVEMBER 16-26

$3995 including liveaboard and associated fees.
